HC Deb 26 July 1967 vol 751 cc889-90

Lords Amendment: No. 111, in page 48, line 43, leave out from "into" to "to" in line 45 and insert: his means and the Commission shall comply with the request and report on his means".

Mr. Taverne

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.

Perhaps it might be convenient if with that Amendment we discuss Amendment No. 112.

These Amendments relate to means inquiries by the Supplementary Benefits Commission in relation to legal aid contributions. The first Amendment is a purely drafting one and the second makes it clear that when a court receives such a report after it has made a contribution order it must reconsider its decision.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords Amendments agreed to.
